Join us for an interactive workshop, led by artist and game designer Lee Shang Lun, where we'll tackle an imaginary pandemic at our door. We will learn what we can contribute as individuals and as communities in the time of a pandemic, how to respond and support each other when we can't come together and contact is forbidden and what past pandemics can teach us to prepare and strategies for the future.

What happens in a pandemic? What do we do if we ever had an Ebola, cholera, Zika virus or bird flu outbreak? What resources do we have and what do we need?

You voice and ideas will help inform the outcome of the third edition of Refuge planned to take place in September. Refuge is a project that brings together emergency management, artists, the community and local regional and international partners, to prepare Arts House as an Emergency Relief Centre, in an imagined climate disaster.
